Note: Last night’s Monday Night Football game was simulcast on the ABC affiliate in Green Bay. As a result, ABC numbers may be a bit inflated and subject to more than typical adjustments in the finals.

NBC was #1 with adults 18-49, but ABC won with total viewers

On NBC, The Voicescored a 4.3 adults 18-49 rating, down from last week's 4.7 18-49 rating. Your guesses about it being the highest-rated show of the night were still spot on though. Revolutiongarnered a 3.5, also down sharply from last week's 4.1 18-49 rating, though this is not an unexpected drop post premiere and NBC has to be pretty happy about it considering it faced original scripted competition on ABC & CBS this week. Your predictions were about right.

CBS' season premiere ofHow I Met Your Mother earned a 3.4, down from last season's 4.7 adults 18-49 premiere rating. The series premiere of Partners earned a 2.4 adults 18-49 rating. The season premiere of 2 Broke Girlsearned a 3.7, down massively from last year's premiere, which earned a 7.1 adults 18-49 rating. However, it should be noted that 2 Broke Girls had the first Two and a Half Men that featured Ashton Kutcher instead of Charlie Sheen as a lead in last year. That Two and a Half Mendrew a whopping 10.7 adults 18-49 rating and helped last year’s premiere of 2 Broke Girls which was on at 9:30p. The premiere of Mike & Mollyearned a 3.0 18-49 rating, down from last year's premiere, which earned a 4.8 adults 18-49 rating. Hawaii Five-0premiered to a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating down from last year's 3.4 adults 18-49 rating.

On FOX, Bones earned a 2.2, down a tenth from last week's 2.3 among adults 18-49. The Mob Doctor went even lower with a 1.3 after last week's 1.5 among adults 18-49.

On ABC, the premiere of Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars garnered a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating, down from its 14th season premiere, which earned a 3.5 adults 18-49 rating. The season premiere of Castle earned a 2.5 adults 18-49 rating, down from its last season premiere, which earned a 3.2 18-49 rating. It's worth noting again that the ABC affiliate in Green Bay aired the Monday Night Football game in that market, so these numbers may be a tad inflated.

On The CW, The LA Complex earned a 0.3. down from last week's 0.4 adults 18-49 rating. A second new episode at 9PM garnered a 0.2 adults 18-49 rating.

At 12:35 a.m., "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" (1.2/4 in metered-market households with an encore) beat CBS's first-run "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" (1.1/4). In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, "Late Night" (0.4/3 in 18-49 with an encore) topped "Late Late Show" (0.3/2).

At 1:35 a.m., "Last Call with Carson Daly" averaged a 0.8/3 in metered-market households with an encore and a 0.3/2 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.

NOTE: All national ratings are "live plus same day" from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise indicated.

Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.

Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)

Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

NBC has to be pretty damn happy. Some drop off was likely regardless, but given the competition from season premieres, it still did very well.

If “The Voice” can actually increase in the coming weeks, which wouldn’t be all that surprising, it’ll give “Revolution” a nice bump. And as long as “Revolution” stays more or less where it is, this has to be a huge victory for the network. I could be mistaken, but even after some drop off, it’s showing better ratings than virtually any of its dramas, new or old, did last year.

I should also give some credit to CBS. It’s only week one, but the sky didn’t fall with its Monday night change up.

I’m very curious to see how NBC does tonight. If “The Voice” and “Go On” stay steady, the improvement in its lineup is really something.

Billy

2BG did okay, but it needs more seasoning to be a CBS Monday anchor. BBT would have put up a 5.5 in that time slot last night. 2BG is not ready to anchor the entire night for CBS.

Dan

Revolution will get a full season beating Castle and Hawaii 5-0.

The Mob Doctor should get cancelled today.

While Partners seems DOA, its possible that it might get 16 episodes, though I’m being optimistic. CBS as usual has Rules waiting in the wings.

Tom

The NFL game was also on ABC in the Milwaukee market (I watched it!), so expect DWTS to lose two tenths. Which is not a good number.

Mob Doctor DOA, Partners not getting a lot of leash as their clearly worst comedy, Revolution holding up well (and taking a bite out of H50) – not a lot of surprises here.

Kyle

@Brian J

CBS CAN’T be happy at all. They are down over 25% from their NORMAL Monday nights. H50 BELOW a 2 and a hefty drop off from last season and HIMYM is down from a 4+ last season. Also Partners is DOA.

Billy

@Brian J

Umm, CBS put up a 2.7 for the night. The worst original Monday night this side of Charlie Sheen. A 2.7 is awful for CBS Monday.

“H50 had the weakest lead-in show and it showed in the ratings.”

WRONG. The last half hour of DWTS pulled a 2.8.

Holly

@Jimmy,

Wow revolution held its own against all those premieres. I expect a full season order in 3…2…1…

Considering recent history with this type of show, I think NBC would be wise to wait a couple more weeks before committing to a back 9.

Sarah

Yay Bones! All things considered.

ATXCountry

Way to go How I Met Your Mother – in a much more competitive time slot, it stayed in second place.

Billy

It is going to be a long year for DWTS. The reality genre is slowly drying up.

Sam

LOL how the article tries to make it seem like “The Voice” tumbled. What is this website’s issue with NBC honestly?

“The Voice” still scored STRONGER than it’s SEASON PREMIERE against a full slate of new episodes on other networks unlike two weeks ago, and you guys have the headline reading “The Voice” tumbles? Is Simon Cowell a webmaster here?

Burr

what happened to H50? great episode!

Alex

NBC relatively stable week-on-week. The Voice down by 0.4 and Revolution down by 0.6 – Revolution much stronger than I thought it would be. Although does anyone know if there was a Voice over run last night? Revolution’s half hours of 3.7 and 3.2 aren’t all that pretty if not.

I’ll refrain from discussing ABC too much until we see final figures. That’s not a good start for Dancing with the Stars though. Not a good start at all.

CBS’ Monday gamble doesn’t appear to have worked. Mike & Molly down and Hawaii Five-0 way down. The 8PM hour doesn’t look especially healthy either although 2 Broke Girls did better than I’d expected. Will Thursday gains be enough to make up for Monday loses?

Fox is exactly what you’d expect.

psychic

I predict that Revolution will keep going down every week. As the ridiculousness mounts, so will the sharp decline of viewers who give a crap.
Partners is dead in the water, and The Mob Doctor, ahem, should be expecting a knock on her door soon. (Can bears knock?)

jenn

Um Rob60990 DWTS is on diff channel than H50

Pamela

I’m not surprised at all about Revolution beating H50 since last season more people tuned out that tuned in watching the boring new girl on the show ( she was so snoozeville I cannot remember her name but do remembering not watching any of the eps except the last 2 after the idiots in charge finally realized adding her was an enormous mistake and tried fixing it but by that time viewership had steadily declined ) !!
I recorded both Revolution and H50 to watch but easily expected to see Revolution overtake H50 based on the fiasco of last season.. Maybe H50 can regain some of what it lost but TPTB did not help this show last season ..

maya

i like the voice i think it is good singing show only about talent,if it was’nt dancing with the star it may score 14 million, they need to add more fun to the show.
